Ex-homicide detectives speak out

Two ex-homicide detectives talk about the problems inside the BPD

Crime odds and ends

Police investigate a boatload of nonfatal shootings this weekend.

Police ID woman found stabbed to death.

Police also ID the man found shot to death on 9/11.

And finally, local skinheads plead not guilty in the vicious beating of an elderly man.

P.S.- To all the Baltimore skinheads who read this blog, If you really feel the need to be a racist prick, might I suggest you chose a city where you're not going to be exceedingly outnumbered and despised. Might I suggest Alaska or Iowa where the ratio of really pissed off black guys to ignorant racist is a tad more on your side? --TAB
Police have released a sketch of man wanted for questioning in connection with a violent rape in the NW district.
